  My experience as a clinical supervisor of an agency regulated by NYS has given me confidence in being able to provide quality services within often limiting regulations. I am enthusiastic, competent, and confident in teaching and leadership.

  • TRAINING: I am happy to train your group or staff on issues related to substance use disorders and mental health concerns.

  • CONSULTATION: When I come to your office/agency I offer a time of listening to your needs and desires, observe the culture of the agency, offer techniques and creative ideas to improve your quality of services, staff morale, and more.
